It depends on the source. For MPEGs (DVD's particularly), it's off by quite a bit. So I run it once for a few frames, check to see where it was, and run it again if I need to. I usually have it dump a couple of hundred frames to be sure I get the one(s) I'm after. It's not perfect, but it's pretty simple, and works well enough. -- Robert Kesterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
